There are times when you want the same haircut you’ve always had — and that’s just fine. Getting a fresh subtle update on a cut that makes you feel great is a good plan of attack — the hair equivalent of comfort food. Other times, you feel more bold. You want to shake things up and try a brand new style on for size. Perhaps you look around to see which haircuts and hairstyles are the latest and greatest that everyone is requesting.

1. Blunt Bob
There’s something so satisfying about rocking a blunt bob with sharp angles. This cut is one of the most polished and chic and because your hair is all the same length, it can help make ends look denser and your overall hair look healthier. Decide where you want your bob’s length to hit to really call attention to a beautiful jawline or cheekbones.
7. Wolf Cut
The “wolf cut” features a mullet shape and a lot of choppy layers. This look has been phased out in favor of longer, more conventional layers. Consider “fairy layers,” which is a mid-length cut with numerous soft layers and face-framing fringe.
3. Tiered Layers
Tiered layers show a slightly more drastic difference between the shortest layers of your hair, which can be curtain bags or just face-framing ones, and the longest layers. This is a cut that works wonders on longer hair because it immediately gives it a lift and new life.
4. Curtain Bangs
If you’ve always wanted bangs, but don’t really want bangs (because the commitment scares you), curtain bangs are the perfect compromise. This fringe is shorter in the middle and longer on the sides, and it should blend in seamlessly with the other layers of your hair. The best thing about these bangs is that they should grow out nicely and can be clipped back if you get tired of them.
5. Mixie
The mixie is a cross between a pixie haircut and a mullet. It has short sides and a short back, but the back is left longer. This gives you some creative power to play around with texture and create an edgy, fun, shaggy look that has all kinds of ‘90s vibes.
6. Italian Bob
The Italian bob may just be the most glamorous of all bobs. It features a length that typically lands somewhere between the chin and shoulder, rounded and blunt ends, and a lot of volume on top. This is a bob with movement that requires minimal styling but makes a huge impact wherever you go.
